Erdem Surreal Romance from London Fashion Week Spring 2009

Soft, hyper-romantic, easy but a bit surreal at the same time – that's exactly how Erdem Moralioglu described his London Fashion Week Spring 2009 collection.

"I've got all these images of seventies theater productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Eton boys wearing flowers in their boaters," the designer said backstage – and what an inspiration that was!

From the prettily designed French lace creations to the flower-printed bodice to frilled embroideries – Erdem's take on the trends which will dominate the fashion scene next year is simply breathtaking.

Sarah Mower of Style.com described this number as a "tiered ice-blue lace Edwardiana dress with an orange ribbon clashingly threaded through it" – and it's a glimpse of the exquisite items which followed.

Spring is synonymous with the budding of flowers – and this orange flower-printed ensemble has a flirty skirt and a solid-lined top.

This stunner of a dress is a combination of frilly laces and a structured skirt.
